Dog Boarding in Uplands, Sarasota, FL

“Wonderful! Joy responded immediately to my last minute request for an overnight for our lab pup and was very communicative, sent lots of photos/videos, made drop off and pickup very easy and flexible. Our dog was so exhausted at pickup and had a wonderful time socializing with the other dogs. Highly recommend, especially for the dogs who require more exercise and playtime. They’ll be exhausted. Thank you for giving us peace of mind, for being so flexible and sending so many photos and videos, Joy!!”

“Kay was wonderful with Emme. I had a traveling delay and she was flexible about my rearrangement of pick up. I will definitely be returning. Thank you, Kay.”

“Emily and her family are amazing! They are true pet lovers and always make my pups feel right at home-lots of pets, snuggles and play time! We love that she sends frequent updates and photos while we are away. Despite all of the shedding my dogs do, her house aid always clean!”

“We loved Polly and Emmet was very calm when we picked him up from his stay with her. He’s a very anxious dog and Polly was so attentive and sweet and made him feel safe. She sent tons of feedback during his stay and we will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Cocoa had another great stay with Joshua and Richard. He stayed with them for 10 days and we never once worried about him. They kept us up dated with emails and pictures throughout. He came home happy, exhausted from playing and in total good shape. Already planning his next stay with them.”

“Kathy took great care of Bob while we were away on a 12-day vacation. I definitely knew he was getting spoiled a bit, as he should since we disrupted his usual routine. She sent comical pics and videos of the fun and love a received during his visit with her. Cannot thank her enough for taking on our silly boy for that length of time!”

“Alexa was great! Was able to take care of my boy Luke on short notice for 3 days and kept me updated with photos. Luke had a great time with her. Will definitely be booking in the future!”

“So nice to have found such a welcoming sleep-over home for our Sadie close by for when we travel. Donna and Mike have the perfect alternative to a kennel. We will definitely be repeat customers.”

“Bailey, our five year old pal, had a great stay with Donna, her mother, and three pups. He typically doesn’t play very much with other dogs, but it appeared he did with all of the daily text and email pics that I received. Donna made me feel at ease with leaving my little guy, she was sweet, and understanding when dealing with my little barker. Big thanks to Donna for putting up with my husband and I on such short notice too. We will use her services again if the need arises…we know our pup won’t mind.”

“All went so smoothly ! Jean was really nice . Very prompt , communication was great . Would use again Thx!”

“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Had a bad experience with a previous sitter who temporarily lost our dog. I know our Teddi is now safe and sound with Hope and Scotts care.”

About: I have a small dog, Bichon Frise. She’s 6 years old. Before her I was working a caregiver and always was walking my client’s dogs. I’m currently working from home and have ability to take care of your dog. I live in townhouse at the safe community and it’s easy to walk here I have my baby - Bichon Frise who is 6 years old. She’s very friendly. My backyard is fenced, but it’s just for small dogs.

“Maria was excellent with our baby and always kept him playing and happy. She was flexible with our pick up/drop off times and sent us updates a few times a day. Thank you!”

“I am absolutely thrilled. Rachel was wonderful and I am so relieved to know I have someone who I can trust to take care of Ziggy when I travel.”

“We have had the pleasure of leaving our dog Bolt with Margo Ryder on several occasions and have been pleased beyond words. We are overly anxious pet parents and we know when our dog is in the care of Ms. Ryder, all of our quirky requests surrounding feeding and protections will be honored, and 4-star quality time will be given to our 4-legged baby. Moving forward we will ONLY be entrusting the care of our animals with Ms. Ryder. She is a gem!”

“Lori always takes such great care of our pups. She is great at communicating and sending pictures. She definitely treats them like her own. We highly recommend her and will continue using her for dog sitting!”

“Tim and Denise were absolutely wonderful with Daisy and Bogey!! My pups were both immediately comfortable with them and their dog-friendly home environment. Tim and Denise were so loving and caring and treated my pups as they would their own dogs. This really warmed our hearts! They took daily walks and would ride on their golf cart to a shaded area for the pups to enjoy some exercise and beautiful scenery. Tim and Denise sent pictures and updates with sweet messages about how Daisy and Bogey were adjusting. This made us feel so good to see how happy they were! Tim and Denise are lovely, caring, and very warm people! We are so glad we found them and can’t wait to book our next visit!!!!”

“Michele is a wonderful sitter that takes care in following your wishes as an owner and takes great care of your house. I have 5 cats and a tortoise and know that Michele cares for them all and makes sure to give updates throughout her pet sitting. Will always trust her with my animals!”

“Carol is the best. She took excellent care of our two small dogs. They were treated like her own pets and they responded well. She made us feel comfortable as she sent frequent photos and text updates. We plan to book with Carol in the future.”

“Cj had a wonderful stay at Faith and Tanner’s place they send lots of pics I felt so at ease. Will definitely be leaving my boy with them the next time.”
